If you see a Redhat login page, that suggests you are trying to start a full remote desktop from the server. Generally you don't treat X like remote desktop. Remote desktop sends just a picture of the remote desktop into a local window, where X is made for sending each individual window. Test it by starting xterm on the remote server. If that works then all of your basic X setup (firewall, network, etc...) is working correctly. If you want remote desktop, look into NX or VNC. -☙ Brian Mathis ❧- _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/ _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
